How about a cheap flight (or drive) across the border and then a low fee TATL from a US city.

Or for that matter a round trip awards ticket back to the departure and a one-way back to Canada..
This has nothing to do with Canadian taxes

Its a co-pay type fee collected by Air Canada - which stays in their pocket - NOT A TAX
There are no one-ways with Aeroplan.
